Holy Quietness

Verse 1 Joys are flowing like a river,
Since the Comforter has come;
He abides with us forever,
Makes the trusting heart His home.

Verse 2 Bringing life and health and gladness,
All around this heav’nly Guest,
Banished unbelief and sadness,
Changed our weariness to rest.

Verse 3 Like the rain that falls from Heaven,
Like the sunlight from the sky,
So the Holy Ghost is given,
Coming on us from on high.

Verse 4 See, a fruitful field is growing,
Blessèd fruit of righteousness;
And the streams of life are flowing
In the lonely wilderness.

Verse 5 What a wonderful salvation,
Where we always see His face!
What a perfect habitation,
What a quiet resting place!

Refrain Blessèd quietness, holy quietness,
What assurance in my soul!
On the stormy sea, Speaking peace to me,
How the billows cease to roll!
